( She had stopped, and there was even a few seconds of silence before she spoke.
Gideon straightens herself up, resting her hands on the table she'd just righted. She can see what he'd said, knows why everyone had called it a stupid act.
It had hurt, knowing that Ray had died, not just in part to how it had happened. It would surprise some to know that she'd felt that, and that she cared for her team. Her family. The few people that she'd come to know and care for.
It had hurt when Ray had died, had saddened her and caused her worry -- caused her to keep checking until he'd returned. It also hurt to hear what he thought of himself )
I know why you did it. It wasn't arrogant, perhaps misguided doing it alone but... ( And there's a brief pause, something that's not normally in Gideon's speech. One of the slight differences from Wonderland's changing of her. She's thinking carefully on her words ) I'm pleased that you tried. I wish too that the outcome had been more favourable, but you needed to try.
( And there's a couple more seconds before Gideon adds )
Thank you.
( Small, honest. Telling? Gideon had mentioned to Ray once that she found this situation difficult, that Rip was important to her but she hadn't elaborated. As saddened as she was that what happened happened she's more pleased that someone tried to help Rip to begin with. It means a lot to her )
